The fire district meeting held on
Monday evening brought out the
usual enthusiastic crowd. The COM
mittee appointed to investigate made
their report, showing. as we'll as they
could, what the various appliances
could be purchased for. The relative
merits of hydrants, cisterns, steam
engines, Babcock engines, squirt-guns
and water pals were discussed. No
one seemed to have any definite ida
as to what course should be adopted,
though many felt that ordinary pre-
caution called for action in some di-
rection. The discussion continued
until about nine o'clock, when the
gentleman from the west end moved
an adjournment without date. This
idea met with the approval of two
other gentlemen, as indicated by their
votes. No voices were heard against
this motion, and the meeting was de-
clared adjourned, without date. A

many have never died yet, but most
people are liable to. We have GER
tainly heard of villages just as nice
and clean as ours being entirely wiped
